+qmk console [-d <pid>:<vid>[:<index>]] [-l] [-n] [-t] [-w <seconds>]
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+
+Connect to all available keyboards and show their console messages:
+
+```
+qmk console
+```
+
+List all devices:
+
+```
+qmk console -l
+```
+
+Show only messages from clueboard/66/rev3 keyboards:
+
+```
+qmk console -d C1ED:2370
+```
+
+Show only messages from the second clueboard/66/rev3:
+
+```
+qmk console -d C1ED:2370:2
+```
+
+Show timestamps and VID:PID instead of names:
+
+```
+qmk console -n -t
+```

+```
